I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1147 Flying Sword_1 Chapter 1145: Chapter 1147 Flying Sword_1 “Boss, to be honest, Duan Jian is my mentor; it was he who sent me here to buy Jade Marrow Wine…” Song Jian sighed as he spoke.

Since the other party had already guessed it, there was no need for him to pretend otherwise. If he couldn't buy the wine, it wouldn't be Song Jian's fault.

“Hmph, I knew it was that bastard, coward, liar, scum…” A string of curses spilled out of the woman's mouth, her face full of rage. Her aura, as deep as an abyss, surged out wave after wave. Even Song Jian couldn't help but take two steps back. This nearly tangible aura made standing next to the woman feel suffocating to Song Jian.

After a long while, the woman finally stopped, having vented all her anger. She gasped for air and slammed her palm onto the counter. Suddenly, a clear palm print appeared on the hard surface of the counter, its edges smooth as if stamped with a mold.

“What are you to him?” The woman's eyes were like daggers as she glared at Song Jian.

“I, I learned some skills from following him; you could say he's my skills mentor…” Song Jian said cautiously, realizing that the woman, with her full aura released, was even more terrifying than any King Level BOSS he had encountered before.

“So you mean to say, you're his apprentice?” The woman stared at Song Jian and sneered, “Have you heard the phrase, 'like father, like son'… no, that's not it, 'A master and student are like father and son'… no, I mean, 'debts must be paid'… heavens…”

Bang!

Furiously, the woman smashed her palm against the counter again and said to Song Jian, “The debt that bastard owes me has now fallen onto your head, kid!”

“Don't be hasty, take your time. If I can do it, I'll definitely help you,” Song Jian hurried to appease her, “as long as you sell me the Jade Marrow Wine!”

“Hmph, do you know what Jade Marrow Wine is used for? It's used for tempering Sword Qi!” The woman said with disdain, giving Song Jian a glance: “This bottle of wine, this bottle…”

The woman seemed to recall something sad and distressing. Her eyes reddened instantly, and after a moment of silence, she took out a small jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Song Jian with a sigh, walking towards the stairs with a look of desolation.

“How much for this?” Song Jian called to the woman's retreating figure.

“Go back and tell that bastard that I, Lady Yufeng, never want to see him again!” the woman said through gritted teeth.

Song Jian watched as Lady Yufeng disappeared on the second floor and then glanced at the Jade Marrow Wine in his hand, sighing inwardly.

Holding the Jade Marrow Wine, Song Jian turned to leave the shop. Having secured the item without spending a penny was a good thing for him. However, there might be serious consequences for his mentor, Duan Jian. As for future issues, they had nothing to do with Song Jian anymore.

With the Jade Marrow Wine in hand, what remained were the flying sword and the Sword Immortal's outfit. However, East Sea Mirage City was simply too vast. Even after a day of wandering, Song Jian hadn't been able to visit every shop, and the people in the mirage wouldn't share any information about items not sold by their own shops, which left Song Jian feeling quite helpless.

Song Jian walked down the street towards an inn he had passed earlier. Along the way, a group of excited people came towards him, discussing and laughing loudly as they walked.

“Senior brother is truly deserving of his reputation, winning three matches in a row. If it weren't for the exhaustion of his spiritual power, he could have won at least one more match!”

“More than that. If it weren't for that bastard's sneak attack with a hidden weapon in the third match, senior brother wouldn't have had to use the 'Screen Closing Moon' move, and he could have retained a third of his spiritual energy…”

“Hmph, those demon brats from Abyssal Hell, their vile conduct is precisely what they're best at, aren't sneak attacks and tricks their specialty…”

“However, the reward for ten consecutive victories really is tempting, huh? Just, that epic sword among them is a bit strange–why doesn't it have a hilt?”

“Idiot, that's a flying sword! Do you understand what a flying sword is? One that you can stand on and fly through the air with…”

“A flying sword, so such things really exist. I thought they were just legends…”

Song Jian was startled, the words “flying sword” seemed almost magical as they drilled into his ears.

Furthermore, ever since the start of the Abyss invasion storyline, he had been particularly sensitive to the term “Abyssal Hell.” Hearing this group of people discussing Abyssal Hell and flying swords made him curious; he stepped forward and stopped several people, bowing with his hands folded in front of him: “Gentlemen, I am Song Jian, greetings!”

A middle-aged man dressed in a tight outfit, with a long sabre on his back, sized up Song Jian and returned the bow with a greeting: “May I know what reason the young brother has for stopping me and my brothers?”

“I heard you mention just now the spawn of Abyssal Hell,” Song Jian said earnestly, “The city where I reside is currently suffering from the invasion of Abyssal creatures, so I have a particular hatred for them. May I know where you have encountered the creatures of Abyssal Hell?”

Upon hearing Song Jian's words, the faces of the group became much more amiable. The man in the lead laughed and said, “Young brother looks like it's your first time at the East Sea Mirage, just follow this street straight on for about five hundred meters and turn left. There's a large courtyard there; that's actually a combat arena. Anyone can enter the arena to duel. If you can achieve ten consecutive wins, you'll get a very generous reward. If you want to give those Abyssal Hell spawn trouble, you might want to check it out!”

“Thank you for the information!” Song Jian thanked them and was about to head to the combat arena when he noticed a look of hesitation cross the face of the lead man, who then said, “Young brother, the arena is said to have backing from Abyssal Hell, and behind it stands an Abyssal Demon King. If you go there, it's best to follow the rules and not cause trouble. After all, every fight is guarded by warriors of the Demon Clan from Hell, and if you have the skill, you can kill them in the ring!”

“An Abyssal Demon King?” Song Jian was taken aback and quickly bowed again to show his thanks: “Thank you for the reminder, brother, I understand.”

Watching Song Jian's retreating back, Li Qi stroked his chin and stood in place with a thoughtful look.

A disciple next to him nudged Li Qi and asked, “Senior brother, why aren't we moving?”

“Fellow disciples, although that person looks young, he has considerable strength. It seems he's going to the arena to stir up trouble. Since we're free anyway, why not join in the fun together?” Li Qi suggested with a smile.

“Senior brother, the guy looked to be only in his twenties, with second-tier Combat Power at best. How is that considerable strength?” A disciple questioned discontentedly, “Any of us could be stronger than him, right? Senior brother, aren't you being too generous with your praise and undermining our own prestige?”

“Humph, I'd say those moves of yours are just for blowing off steam…” Li Qi snorted and said, “That man's aura is concentrated, firm as steel. He's like an unsheathed treasured sword. Standing next to him, I could feel the sharp Sword Intent radiating from him. He's not as simple as you imagine!”

“If that's the case, let's follow our senior brother and go enjoy the spectacle. We can also cheer on the young brother. Anyway, I find those creatures from the Abyssal Demon Clan quite displeasing. It would be satisfying to have this young brother slaughter a few more of them!”

“Let's go, let's go together…”

Li Qi burst into laughter and, leading his fellow disciples, turned his head towards the combat arena they had just left.
